Question

The findings suggest that women are more likely to take photographs that include other people, indicating that they may be more likely to develop an interdependent self-construal. This means that women may see themselves as being connected to others and value relationships more than men. This does not necessarily imply that women are more dependent on others or have a larger network of friends, but rather that they may have a different way of defining themselves in relation to others. The study does not provide evidence for women being more socially mature.
